Shadow Work Equips You With The Tools To Hold Medicine

Learn to be present in shadow, not run from it. We are taught to avoid shadows when they arise. This happens through turning a blind eye, ignoring the elephant in the room, or downplaying the severity of the problem. We are masters at masking. The world is demanding us to stop wearing masks. It’s begging us to learn to stand in the presence of shadow and confront it, not dismiss it and neglect it. Shadow work is learning how to be an active medicine in the presence of shadow. Instead of ignoring it or becoming part of it, you bring a presence that transmutes the shadows into lessons and medicine. The shadows are not something to chase out with pitch forks but instead embrace and learn the lesson they are here to teach.
